Chapter 1769: Evolution of Scarlet Reaper
"It is time."
After several days immersed in intensive cultivation, Cain clearly heard the voice of the Dragon Empress echoing within his mind, immediately prompting him to halt his practice. A complicated expression arose on his face as he inwardly assessed his cultivation progress, sensing the intricate resonance networks forming inside his body.
"I haven’t even completed two percent of the resonance network necessary to begin the infusion of bloodlines and the five-element treasures," Cain muttered quietly to himself, frustration faintly evident in his tone.
It wasn’t his comprehension of the Primeval Genesis Body that hindered his advancement; rather, it was the flow of Origin Power. While achieving complete mastery over an Oniric Truth greatly enhanced one’s connection with the universe, allowing a cultivator to directly channel Origin Power, the amount accessible through mere meditation and natural absorption remained disappointingly limited. Typically, powerful cultivators resolved this issue by controlling regions where the flow of Origin Power was exceptionally dense, but these coveted areas were all fiercely guarded by powerful factions and ArchDeities. Accessing them wasn’t simply challenging—it was borderline impossible.
Most Prime Deities readily accepted this slower yet safer path. Given their nearly endless lifespan, spanning millions of years, waiting a few decades to cultivate a technique posed no real inconvenience. However, Cain was fundamentally different. For him, waiting decades merely to begin training the Primeval Genesis Body was utterly unacceptable.
"If everything goes as planned," Cain whispered softly, determination flashing vividly within his eyes, "I’ll soon possess my own Divine Kingdom, complete with an abundant flow of Origin Power."
A sharp, insidious, and utterly ruthless light shone in Cain’s eyes as he envisioned the future he would soon grasp. He quickly stood up, exiting his residence without hesitation, immediately meeting Tiamat in the expansive sky above her Eternal Kingdom.
The Dragon Empress nodded lightly toward Cain, silently signaling him to follow. Together, they traversed the kingdom’s skies, swiftly reaching a distant corner where a massive energy formation pulsed ominously. Though nothing visible stood near it, countless dragons instinctively kept their distance, sensing a deeply oppressive and sinister aura emanating from it.
As Cain and Tiamat landed atop the formation, they vanished instantly, reappearing deep underground. Cain’s eyes narrowed sharply as he beheld a vast subterranean tower—so immense it appeared to stretch thousands of kilometers in every direction. The tower walls were densely embedded with countless powerful energy seals and intricate rune formations, restrictions so potent that even Cain felt confident he would struggle immensely if trapped within.
